Director Choi Dong-hoon of "The Big Swindle" and "The War of Flower" has a new movie "Jeon Woo-chi Story", starring Kang Dong-won, Im Soo-jeong, Kim Yoon-seok, and Yoo Hae-jin.

This movie tells the story of a Joseon Taoist Jeon Woo-chi, who comes into the present-day world and faces a ghost that confuses the world. It is based on a Joseon novel with the same name. It copies "Hong Gil-dong Story" and tells the heroism of Jeon Woo-chi, who was a real Taoist. The movie put the background in today's time and gives it a new feeling. Director Choi is in charge of the screenplay and the adaptation.

Kang Dong-won plays the young Jeon Woo-chi, who excels in Taoist magic but is more concerned with elegance and women than self-discipline. He has played serious characters in the past, but he will be showing a new image through this movie. Im Soo-jeong plays the woman Jeon Woo-chi loved in the Joseon era, and a coordinator who wants to be an actress.
